The trio replacement functions are used as follows:
#ifdef NEED_TRIO
#include "trio.h"
#define vsscanf trio_vsscanf
#endif
So you'd have trio_* functions in the ncurses library.

I think trio has replacement for all the functions. The libxml project
currently uses it and we haven't seen any obvious problems.
We *need* a 64-bit version of the ncurses library so we're prepared to
submit a patch with *some* solution.
